WIP Wednesday on Thursday

Missed yesterday, but I didn’t think it would be that huge of a deal since I am typically only working on one thing– my fan fiction serial story. Since I’ve launched Things My Mama Said, in support of my (hopefully) book Mama Said, I guess I have more to write about, so I decided to catch up.

Things are going swimmingly as far as contributions go. I haven’t counted but I am up over 20, I am sure. I sent out an email to folks I know, asking them to pass the link along and encouraging them to contribute.

Anyone know of any other ideas to get the word out?

I’m also doing some research and looking for ideas/recommends on great books on writing non fiction/literary non fiction/ creative nonfiction. I openly admit to not really knowing what I am doing, and I am wide open to suggestions and pointers!

I’ve started ch. 62, the for serious final chapter of All I Wanna Do. In regular fashion, I write about 1000 words, let them sink in, and then let it grow from there. Hopefully I can dig into it this weekend. I really want to bring that story to a close in February. It will be sad, but also exciting to be moving on to other things.

I also sort of feel like I want to write a short story but I don’t know what about. Maybe I need a jumping off point, a prompt or something.

What are YOU working on, and how’s it going?

GYWO: Wordy June

Hello all. Been a while since I blogged over here. I’d apologize, but it appears that I’ve been writing instead of blogging… which is totally fine with me!

It is month end, which means another update to my Get Your Words Out tally. Last month was a banner month for writing, and this month I did even better. I’ve been on a few “missions” the last couple of months, which is generating a lot of words. This makes me happy.

My total for the month of June, through about 5pm today, is 40,001 words. WOW! I hit about 35K words last month, which was my biggest month so far. Half of that is some thought and pontificating about changing my life and sharing pieces of myself over at the Diary.  The other half, I am happy to say, are additions to my story All I Wanna Do! I managed to get 2 chapters in last month, which is great! Got to keep it goin’!

My grand total for the year now is 203,927. That means I have fewer than 100K words until I hit my 300,000 mark. Uhm, seriously? I’m totally gonna make that. I have at LEAST 50,000 words left of AIWD, if not more. Plus NaNo is coming up in October- not sure if I am doing it yet, and a friend gave me an idea for something new that’s niggling at me. I’ve been laughing off the idea but damn if it’s not writing itself in my head!

Maybe in July. Maybe.

In all, I’m pleased with the progress! To think I was worried…………
